Genome sequence data for 61 isolates of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris from Brassica crops in Serbia

This Technical Resource describes genome sequencing data for 61 isolates of the bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris collected from Brassica and Raphanus crops between 2010 and 2021 in Serbia. We present the raw sequencing reads and annotated contig-level genome assemblies and determine the races of ten isolates. The data can be used to test hypotheses and phylogeographic analyses and inform the design of informative molecular markers for population genetics studies. When combined with phenotypic data, they could be used to dissect relationships between genotypes and phenotypes such as host range and virulence. Finally, these genome sequences expand our inventory of plasmids known to reside in this pathogen.
